Todd,

I'll respond to your question even though I don't consider myself a right winger. I don't have TV, nor do I watch the news even on the internet. Any "news" I hear, I get from here. I didn't follow the polls nor most of what is posted on the dark side. That being said, I think those who wanted Romney to win probably wanted and/or believed that the polls would be wrong. Probably not unlike the eternal hope that a fish will bite...somehow their guy would overcome the odds and win, which probably corresponds best to #3.

I'm not sure what information people would think they knew that nobody else knew so #2 seems like a long shot.

But then again, there must be enough folks watching Fox to keep them on the air so surely there was a substantial group in the #1 category.
